As a young child it didn't take long to fall in love with the Green and White Hoops. The buzz of getting first view of the park coming into the Jungle or the Celtic End. Sitting on the railing watching my heroes Tommy Burns and Paul McStay even through trophyless years and not once did i not enjoy going to games or even think about not going just dreaming about the day we would start winning Titles and Cups again. Now in all this time 30+ years of following Celtic home and away i was never brought up on anything other than what Celtic were about as a Football Club. I don't ever recall my family once mentioning the IRA. I have never once sang about them they mean nothing to me i was born in Scotland and i attend Celtic games to watch a game of football. What others do is up to them but if they want to preach to people that the IRA have anything to do with our great clubs history then they are quite frankly full of it. Support your football team or stay away. My question to the people who want to chant IRA songs or display IRA banners do you do it the other 6 days of the week or is purely the 1 day at Celtic Park? I work with many an Irish man who look to the future not the past.

Couldn't agree more Stan! We have a vital CL game in 3 days! Let's get back to talking about who do we think should start and what formation we all think we should play, or are rosenborg actually any good! Lol.

The club used to sell records with the rebels in them and ira songs sung since before you were born.

You can't simply change history because you don't sing rebels

Also telling fans to stay away? Really on your high horse.

I ain't on any horse and if you think i am in the minority inside Celtic Park you are mistaken. As the Irish at my work said "Its 2017 they should grow up"

Telsa. Look at the comments. There is no place for flying para military banners inside or outside celtic park or anywhere else. If you want to encourage this behaviour and join in, why not drop your name and address off at the local police station and see how long it takes to get banged up. Because if that is what you believe we should all behave then there is no place for you in Celtic Park or any where else in Scotland.

Tesla you and others are making this out to be the GB v the rest where do i mention the GB? I have said on here numerous occassions i am willing to make payments towards banners etc. My comment is based on the few who think its ok to glorify the IRA in any section at CP. As i said there is guys at my work from Cork and Dublin and they are embarrassed and disgusted by it.
